RE: Reverse Proxy

I've made a rewrite rule that redirects all the requests of the absolute links to the reverse proxy.
However, the problem now is in the images with absolute links as they don't come with the page.
So I am gonna try filtering the pages while passing the proxy to change the URLs
How can I filter URLs within the content of a page that the server sends? In which module is this?
thnx

Are you talking about URLs embedded inside the pages themselves? There isn't a way of doing this (to my knowledge) just with Apache - however trying to filter the URLs within the content is a bad idea, as there are so many ways of getting it wrong.

First prize is to make sure all the links are relative. If this is not possible, change the URLs so that they are absolute but without hostnames, eg "/images/someimage.gif".

A good rule of thumb is to make the URL on the backend always the same as the URL on the frontend, for example:

ProxyPass /images/ http://backend.com/images/
